The trailer is supposed to be the candy that attract the audience to the cinema for the movie.

The viewers have a deep impression of the old movie.

So, it is normal for them to compare it to the original movie which was a epic.

The trailers shows:
- typical racial stereotype where the MRT lady have no reason to be join the team.
- There is lack of chemistry between the team.
- The jokes seems to be copied completely from the original.
- There was a leader in the pack which was not evident.
- There is no element of fear as the team seems more powerful than the ghost and already have the model answer to deal with them.

They already trying to be cheap by using a bunch of non star.
And they are also trying to be lazy by copying the original.

So, the audience should watch the original movie instead.

To be fair, ghostbusters has always been about a team of underdogs. So I felt using unknown or non-chio bu stars fix the theme nicely.

I just feel that the casting ish bad not because of the popularity of the stars but mainly because they fail to generate that ghostbusters feeling. :(

Classic Ghostbusters became typical hollywood comedy?!? Reali trash!

Can forsee this will appeal to new ppl/young audiences who dunno the old ghostbusters as a comedy show instead of what it suppose to be.

But ghostbusters fan will reject this piece of junk. Low class joke. Dun have slightly more serious/scary ghost. Suppose to have blend of joke and seriousness in ghostbusters.

Characters arent tht interesting. Kristen wiig and Melissa marcarthy act their usual self from their other movies?

Moi suspect high chance will end up like transformers and teenage mutant ninja turtles. Though the old fansee hate them, but the new generation still like enough to give them profits so will sexpect more sequels to come. :(
